5 Section II. Supported Operating Systems for Student Testing This section describes the supported operating systems for online testing. For optimal performance, AIR expects all systems to have the latest minor updates and patches installed. Major updates including new versions require review and testing. Warning: Support for New Major Versions of Supported Operating Systems New major versions of supported operating systems must be tested by AIR before they can be used for online testing. Do not upgrade to new major versions before support is officially announced. AIR also recommends you disable auto-updates to keep systems from upgrading automatically. Desktops and Laptops Table 1 lists the operating systems and hardware required for student testing. Online testing functions effectively with the minimum requirements listed. However, the recommended specifications provide improved performance. Table 1.

7 Supported Operating Systems for Student Testing Tablets Table 2 lists the supported tablets, operating systems, and related requirements. See the Technical Specifications Manual for Online Testing for information about configuring these devices for online testing. Table 2. Supported Tablets and Operating Systems Supported Operating Systems ios (ipads) 10.3, 11.4, 12 a Android b 7.1, 8.1, 9 a Windows 8 (Professional & Enterprise) 8.1 (Professional & Enterprise 10 (Educational, Professional, & Enterprise) Supported Tablets 4 th Generation (Retina Display) 5 th Generation (Retina Display) ipad Air ipad Air 2 ipad Pro Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 10 Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Asus ZenPad Z10 AIR supports any tablet running these versions of Windows, but has done extensive testing only on Surface Pro, Surface Pro 3, Asus Transformer, and Dell Venue. a Support for this version is anticipated upon the completion of testing following its release. b Amazon Fire tablets are not supported for online testing. Chromebooks and Chromebases Table 3 lists the supported operating systems for Chromebooks and Chromebases. About Chrome OS and Automatic Updates While AIR actively works to support new versions of the Chrome operating system as they come out, we recommend disabling automatic updates until new versions are listed as supported. Disabling automatic updates allows AIR to review changes and address any updates that pose a potential risk to student testing. Automatic update settings are configured in Google s admin console. 4
8 Supported Operating Systems for Student Testing Table 3. Supported Chromebooks Supported Operating Systems Chrome OS 67+ Supported Chromebooks AIR will support any device that Google actively supports for auto-update. AIR will not support any device that Google does not support for auto-update. Information on Google's autoupdate policy, including currently supported devices, can be found at Chromebooks Manufactured in 2017 or later Due to recent changes by Google, users with Chromebooks manufactured in 2017 or later who do not have an Enterprise or Education license will not be able to use those machines for assessments. Google no longer allows users without these licenses to set up kiosk mode, which is necessary to run the AIR Secure Browser. This change restricting kiosk mode does not affect the Chrome operating system. You can still use any version of Chrome OS on hardware manufactured in 2016 or earlier. Warning: Chrome OS Tablet Mode Not Supported Chrome OS includes a feature called tablet mode, which offers a touchscreen environment for supported Chromebooks and for Chrome OS tablets. AIR does not support the use of tablet mode for testing but does support touchscreen features on Chromebooks when available. Thin Clients: NComputing and Terminal Servers for Windows NComputing Table 4 lists the supported hardware and software for NComputing solutions. Table 4. Supported NComputing solutions Supported Server Host Supported Server Software Supported Terminal Windows Server 2008 R2 vspace Server 8.4 L300, firmware version 1.12.xx Windows Server 2012 R2 Windows Server 2016 R2 Windows 10 vspace PRO 10 L300, L350, M300, firmware version 1.13.xx 5
9 Supported Operating Systems for Student Testing Terminal Servers Table 5 lists the supported terminal servers for use with a thin client machine. Table 5. Supported terminal servers Supported Terminal Servers Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2, 2016 R2 Supported Thin Client Any thin client that supports a Windows Server. Warning: Security Issues with Terminal Services or Remote Desktop Connections to Servers Using a terminal services or remote desktop connection to access a Windows Server or workstation that has the secure browser installed is typically not a secure test environment. 6
10 Section III. Supported Web Browsers for Online Systems This section lists the supported web browsers for the test year. It also addresses AIR s secure browsers for student testing. Supported Web Browsers by Operating System Table 6 lists the supported operating systems and corresponding web browsers for each AIR application. AIR recommends using recent versions of supported web browsers. Each application requires disabling pop-up blocking software and enabling JavaScript. Be sure to use the correct combination of operating system and web browser. For example, Windows 10 requires Chrome 67+, Firefox 52+, or Edge. Table 6.

12 Supported Web Browsers for Online Systems Secure Browsers for Online Testing Table 7 lists the AIR secure browsers for each operating system. A secure browser must be downloaded and installed on each computer used for student testing. Districts that installed a secure browser with a version older than the versions listed below must uninstall it before installing the secure browser for the school year. For instructions on downloading and installing the secure browsers, refer to the Secure Browser Installation Manual. Table 7. Secure Browsers by Operating System Operating Systems Secure Browser Windows 7 SP1 (Professional & Enterprise) 8 (Professional & Enterprise) 8.1 (Professional & Enterprise) 10 (Educational, Professional, & Enterprise) (Versions , 1809 a ) Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2, 2016 R2 (thin client) Windows 10, 10 in S mode (Educational, Professional, & Enterprise) (Versions , 1809 a ) 10.3 Take a Test app Mac a 10.3 Linux Fedora LTS (Gnome) Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, LTS (Gnome) ios (ipads) 10.3, 11.4, 12 a Android 7.1, 8.1, 9 a Chrome OS AIRSecureTest Mobile Secure Browser 5 AIRSecureTest Mobile Secure Browser 5 AIRSecureTest kiosk application 5 a Support for this version is anticipated upon the completion of testing following its release. 9
13 Supported Web Browsers for Online Systems Delaying Firefox Updates AIR conducts quality assurance on the most recent Firefox versions for each system except the Student Testing Site (which requires the secure browser). You should wait before installing new versions of Firefox, which could impact system performance. Delaying updates allows AIR time to review changes and verify each system works correctly with the new version. To learn how to disable auto-updates for Firefox, see forum-response-turning-auto-update. You may need to disable auto-updates again after installing a newer version. Available Audio Settings by Browser Some test items play audio files, and some students have the text-to-speech (TTS) accommodation. In either case, the student should be able to adjust the audio settings for those items. Table 8 lists the browsers and their associated capability to modify such settings. Use Table 8 to ensure that you deploy a browser with the required capability. Table 8.

15 Section IV. Requirements for Peripheral Equipment This section describes the requirements for peripheral equipment: monitors, screens, keyboards, and headphones. Monitors and Screen Display Requirements All supported computers, laptops, netbooks, and tablets must meet the following requirements. Screen Dimensions Screen dimensions must be 10" or larger (ipads with a 9.7" display are included). This means the following devices are not supported: Apple ipad Mini Google Nexus 7 and similar-sized Android tablets Netbooks with screen dimensions smaller than 10" Screen Resolution All devices must meet the following minimum resolution. Larger resolutions can be applied as appropriate for the monitor or screen being used. Desktops, laptops, and tablets: Netbooks: Depending on the screen size, students may need to use vertical or horizontal scroll bars to view all test-related information. Students may also use the Zoom tool in the online test to enlarge the content on the screen. 12
16 Requirements for Peripheral Equipment Keyboards External keyboards are strongly recommended for tablets used for testing, and some states require external keyboards for such devices. Students may use mechanical, manual, and Bluetooth-based keyboards. Some external keyboards have additional shortcut buttons that can create security issues. These buttons may allow students to open another application or the tablet s default on-screen keyboard. AIR strongly cautions against using keyboards that have these shortcut buttons. Keyboards with Android The Android mobile secure browser requires the secure browser keyboard to disable predictive text. Therefore, any external keyboard that has a shortcut button to open the tablet s default keyboard is not permitted, as this default keyboard will override the mobile secure browser keyboard. AIR has determined that the EZOWare Slim Full Size Keyboard contains a shortcut button that opens the default keyboard and should NOT be used with Android tablets. Mice Mice on mobile devices are not supported. Wireless or wired two- or three-buttoned mice that are compatible with the operating system on desktops and laptops are supported. No other mice should be used, especially mice equipped with a browser back button that could potentially kick users out of a test. Headsets and Headphones Students may need headphones to listen to audio in online assessments, and may use headsets to record answers to tests. Below are some scenarios that require headphones or headsets. Students with the text-to-speech accommodation can use headphones to listen to stimuli or to test items being read aloud. Students with the enhanced accessibility accommodation can use headphones along with Job Access with Speech (JAWS ) or other screen reading software to complete online tests. Each NComputing terminal must have a USB headphone or headset when used for tests that require students to record or listen to audio. Students participating in ELPA21 must have a headset (with a microphone) to record responses to speaking items. Test Coordinators should determine how many students will need headphones to ensure that there are enough available at the time of a test. 13
